Warframe's TennoCon 2024: A Blast from the Past with Warframe: 1999!
This year's TennoCon delivered some mind-blowing reveals, none bigger than Warframe: 1999, a massive update set in a retro-futuristic 1999. Prepare for a thrilling ride through a Techrot-infested city teetering on the brink of a Y2K apocalypse!
But first, a prologue! The Lotus Eaters quest, launching in August 2024, reunites us with a beloved Warframe character and sets the stage for the main event. This prologue introduces Sevatgoth Prime and their exclusive weaponry. Completing The Lotus Eaters is a prerequisite for experiencing Warframe: 1999 (arriving Winter 2024), so get ready!
Warframe: 1999 plunges players into the alternate 1999 of Höllvania, a vibrant city ravaged by a deadly Y2K virus and Techrot. Navigate this neon-drenched landscape with the new Atomicyles – futuristic vehicles capable of bullet jumps, drifts, and even explosive maneuvers! Command a team of six unique characters, the Hex, each sporting a Protoframe – Warframes revealing the human within.
Meet Arthur (Excalibur), Aoi (Mag), Quincy (the new CYTE-09 frame, also coming to the Origin System), and more, voiced by an all-star cast including Alpha Takahashi, Ben Starr, Melissa Medina, and Amelia Tyler. Interact with them via instant messaging – a truly authentic 1999 experience!
Prepare to face a truly 90s villain: On-lyne, a Technocyte-infected boy band led by the charismatic Zeke (voiced by Nick Apostolides). Their infectious music will be available on all major streaming services!
Fashion is key! Warframe: 1999 boasts upgraded fashion systems, including dual frame loadouts and the stunning Gemini Skins. These skins allow you to bring Protoframes like Arthur and Aoi into the Origin System, complete with fully voiced lines for combat and idle moments.
Beyond the main update, Digital Extremes is collaborating with THE LINE to produce an anime short based on Warframe: 1999, releasing later this year. Plus, grab the new high-fidelity Heirloom skins – Ember's is available now, with Rhino's coming in early 2025!
Warframe: 1999 arrives this Winter. Download Warframe today from the App Store and get ready for the ultimate retro-futuristic adventure!
